Rejoice, this month's thread is here.

Personally:

Manga:

Nothing. I plan to go back to reading the Apothecary Diaries soon though, as long as I finish reading a surprisingly good Evangelion fanfiction I picked up on a whim, as well as start reading Koji Kumeta's Shibuya Near Family

Anime:

Scrapped Princess (2003) was fine. The start was pretty strong, but then settled into a decent but unremarkable quality. Still, at least it's not generic isekai slop. But as with many shows of those years, Neon Genesis Evangelion always seems to sneak into the plot. B-

Finished Gundam Wing (1995) and actually ended up liking it, even though it's got nonsense liberal melodramatic politics about pacifism. B+

Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu (2003) is unhinged, and that's why I love it. A+

Kakushigoto (2020) sent me back into the Koji Kumeta spiral again. Highly entertaining writing as usual, but instead of cynical GenX political satire, it's a wholesome slice of life show about a mangaka who doesn't want his daughter to find out about it. I was not sure what to expect, but it's a great show so far. Similar in concept to Yotsuba&, but it got me hooked fast, whereas Azuma Kiyohiko's work surprisingly didn't. A+
